Hi all! I'm looking to start a PMHNP DNP program soon. I live in California and I want to stay in-state. The in-person programs (which are already few to begin with because I will be doing a BSN to DNP Program) are all upwards of 130k, while the onl...

Glad to know that I'm not the only one having trouble finding the ANCC Test Bank. Is it this one?? Thanks in advance! Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certification (PMHNP-BC) PracticeIQ - nursingworld.org The above IQ test (why...

Hey all! I graduate with my BSN in April 2018. I was just curious if anyone has any information about the 2018 Nurse Residency Program at University of California at San Francisco Medical Center? Are they even having residencies in 2018? Anyone know...

Hi! Which program did you end up choosing? I’m kind of in the same boat- I would love to do a BSN-DNP program (PMHNP), but they all cost over 80k which is just too much money for me to take out in loans. I know I can find a much cheaper MSN program.....

Oh wow, I didn’t know that it’s about 1 year if you apply with a BSN, which is what I would do. That’s great to hear, thank you so much for the information!

Congrats on your acceptance, I wish you the very best! Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you; sorry that I'm no help haha! I have a question of my own though? I'm looking into Vanderbilt's BSN to DNP PMHNP program, and I am confused as well a...

Shortened quote to lessen the scrolling haha. Thanks so much for your input! I’ll definitely do my research and attend a reputable program. It’s reassuring to hear that attending an online, *reputable* program most likely won’t prevent me from ever g...

Hi all! I am a psychiatric RN looking to get my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner license. (PMHNP). I would take the BSN to DNP route. My personal preference is to go to a hybrid program not one that is completely online, in California whe...

Hi all! I will be graduating with my BSN in April 2018 and I am really hoping to start my first RN job in psych. Although I live in California, I went to college and got my BSN in Pennsylvania. This past year of college has been miserable because all...

I say get your PhD first! You have always loved research, and the patient-care aspect of FNP doesn't seem to align with your personality traits. Additionally, a PhD seems that it would work well in the future if you decide to start a family ?

Hey all! I graduate with my BSN in April 2018. I was just curious if anyone has any information about the 2018 Nurse Residency Program at the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital Stanford RN Residency Program? I know for this current year the start ...

Hi! I am wondering if you have been able to gather more information about Colombia's cost and wether it's true that we only pay for the first year? There's not much information regarding cost on their website..

Congratulations on everyone for getting in! I am hoping to apply to Colombia in 2019 or 2020. Where can I find the required pre-requisites for any DNP program? I scoured their website but I can't find any pre-req information. Any help is much appreci...

Hi! I have so much respect for pysch nurses, who often go under appreciated for all the amazing, life saving work they do. Im just wondering, for all the pysch nurses out there, how often do you: do wound care (and are they simple dressings or woun...

Thank you so much for your advice all, I decided to move back to CA and I couldn't be happier with my decision!

I am in OP's shoes right now. I am about to graduate with my BSN and am passionate about psych nursing. I live the the Bay Area. However, every psych RN job posting I've seen requires at least 1 year of previous psych nursing experience, which I don'...

Hey everyone! I'm graduating with my BSN in April 2018 and I am wondering if anyone has any advice on the timeline of applications. My ideal option is to do a nurse residency program, but with the stiff competition, I'm also going to apply to every s...

Hi all! I will be graduating with my BSN this April 2018. I would absolutely love to work in the NICU! I was wondering if anyone knows of any hospitals that have NICU fellowship/residency programs for new graduates? Also- what do you think my chances...

That is great to know, thank you for your reply! Maybe things may have changed from then till now, but it makes me wonder why it is so much harder to get into adult ICUs than to NICUs? Bothe patient populations are just as critically sick...? Anyways...

Thank you for your reply! I too, came across this resource-- but I think this list is of general residency programs- not ones specifically geared towards the NICU!

Hi! I will be graduating from a 4 year BSN program in 2018. I recently took the GRE and got a whopping score of...300 (out of 340). Yikes! I'd prefer to keep my 300 and not take the GRE again if the scores don't have too too much weight on my applic...

Thank you for your thorough input!

Hi all! I just completed my second year in a 4 year nursing school. I hope to continue on to earn my MSN and become and NP. Disclaimer: This is NOT meant to discredit the work of CNAs or anyone else for that matter, everyone's job is vital to enablin...

Hello All! I am asking on behalf of my wonderful mother. :) She has been an LVN for many years and has decided to attend Unitek College at the Fremont campus to prepare herself to take the NCLEX. We have thought long and hard about this and have d...
